Description:
"Though it's pitched at a level of absurdity slightly above that of real life, White Noise captures the quality of daily existence in media-saturaated, hyper capitalistic postmodern America so precisely, you don't know whether to laugh or whimper." -- Lev Grossman, Time "I can't think of a few books written in my lifetime that have received such quick and wise acclaim while going on to exercise so deep an influence for decades thereafter. I can think of even fewer books more likely to remain essential guides to life in the Information Age, another quarter century one." --Richard Powers "One of the most ironic, intelligent, grimly funny voices to comment on life in present-day America . . . [ White Noise ] poses inescapable questions with consummate skill." --Jayne Anne Phillips, The New York Times Book Review "DeLillo's eighth novel should win him wide recognition as one of the best American noveslists. . . . the homey comedy of White Noise invites us into a world we're glad to enter. Then the sinister buzz of implication makes the book unforgettably disturbing." -- Newsweek "A stunning book . . . it is a novel of hairline prophecy, showing a desolate and all-too-believable future in the evidence of an all-too-recognizable present. . . . Through tenderness, wit, and a powerful irony, DeLillo has made every aspect of White Noise a moving picture of a disquiet we seem to share more and more." -- Los Angeles Times " White Noise captures the quality of daily existence in media-saturated, hyper-capitalistic postmodern America so precisely, you don't know whether to laugh or whimper." -- Time "DeLillo is a prodigiously gifted writer. His cool but evocative prose is witty, biting, surprising, precise . . . White Noise [is] arguably [his] best novel." -- The Washington Post "Its brilliance is dark and sheathed. And probing. In White Noise , Don DeLillo takes a Geiger-counter reading of the American family, and comes up with ominous clicks." -- Vanity Fair "A stunning performance from one of our most intelligent novelists . . . Tremendously funny." -- The New Republic "DeLillo's love and flair for language unite to tell us [...] something discomforting about mortality and something profound about the way we deal with it. It may be a novel superabounding with words, but none of them are wasted." -- The Guardian
